LOWELL, Mass. – Senior forward
Dillan Bentley (Peoria, Ill.) of the UMass Lowell ice hockey team (3-3-0, 1-1-0 Hockey East) has been named the Hockey East Player of the Week for his performance at Mercyhurst this past weekend, as announced by the conference Monday afternoon.
The River Hawks alternate captain came up huge for the team in the weekend sweep, first collecting two points in game one's 4-0 victory, before finishing game two the next night with two goals, including the game-winner in the third period to clinch the 4-3 win. His four-point series now gives him five on the season to rank him second on the team.
This also marks Bentley's first conference weekly award of the season.
